Collection Cosmetics Pressed Powder, Velvety Matte Finish, 15g, Candlelight

PROS :- light-as-air,- super silky to the touch,- natural finish, neither truly matte nor truly glowy,- no oxidizing during the day (after the initial darkening),- fragrance-free and smell-free,- generous amount (15 g) for a tiny price.CONS :- doesn't control shine that well (but I don't care, let's see the comments),- darkens upon initial contact with moisture or oil (but doesn't darken further),- very powdery in the pan,- no storing compartment for the puff,- no refill.COMMENTS :Holy shit !!!! This is by far the best pressed setting powder I've ever worn.This is a truly translucent powder that sets the foundation so smoothly it looks like skin, just skin.The powder is very powdery upon contact, so instead of poking the pan with a brush, I prefer using a puff that I just ever so slightly swirl on the powder.Upon application, the powder may appear whitish and very powdery, especially if (like I do) a lot of powder is used. But don't worry, just brush off the excess with a fan brush, slightly buff the remaining powder with a denser brush, and the whitish powdery finish will vanish and let a semi-matte finish that just looks like healthy skin, with a hint of non-shimmery glow, and feels amazingly silky to the touch.To counteract any white cast, this powder contains a tiny amount of pigments. As soon as the skin natural fluids drench the powder (a setting spray can also do the same), these pigments darkens slightly and the non-colored particles in the powder, like talc, starch or mica, become more transparent.Due to its natural finish, this powder does not control shine very well, so I still have to blot with papers.But, honestly, I don't care this lack of oil control : the finish is so gorgeous on the skin, I freaking LOVE IT ♥♥♥

Great value pressed powder. Would recommend and buy again

This is a really nice, silky face powder that goes on nicely and doesn't cake on the skin. I've got the Ivory shade and it's the perfect, accurate shade and doesn't turn orange on the skin, unlike many other face powders, even far more expensive ones. The coverageis fairly light and sheer (much better than heavy, cake'y powders!) and I do need to reapply fairly frequently but that's okay with me. I'm also happy that this brand are cruelty free. So, what's not to love? Good product, good price and no animals suffering cruel 'tests' to create this. 😀

Hi please buy this it will change your life! I personally prefer buying premium makeup but this is one product I will use till I die. It is easily usable an affordable price and an amazing product. It sets my makeup all day without drying out my skin like most powders. It is easily applicable and in my everyday makeup. PLEASE BUY 🙏 You won’t regret
